Improve people's lives

In the atmosphere of the whole country celebrating the 79th anniversary of the successful August Revolution and National Day September 2, Lang Thanh commune seems to put on a new coat, with bright colors.

It is clear that the traffic routes from provincial roads, district roads, commune roads and village roads have been invested in and upgraded. Welfare works: Commune administrative headquarters, cultural houses of hamlets, schools of all levels, and Commune Health Stations have also been invested in and built new and spacious.

Traditional markets and commercial services have developed strongly, meeting the shopping needs of the people. Village roads and alleys have been cleaned, trees and fresh flowers have been planted and cared for by the people. Party flags, national flags and slogan banners have been decorated on the roads.

In particular, the locality has just completed the "Lang Thanh commune welcome gate" - a solid, majestic architectural work imbued with traditional beauty, not only a material mark, but also a symbol of solidarity, love and attachment between the children of the commune and their homeland.

Lang Thanh is known as a semi-mountainous commune, with the largest natural area in Yen Thanh district. People in the commune mainly live on agricultural production. There are few businesses operating in the area, so mobilizing contributions to support the implementation of the new rural program is difficult.

However, the commune determined that difficulties are the driving force for the entire political system and all classes of people to join in mobilizing all resources to the maximum.

Mr. Nguyen Ho Son - Chairman of the Commune People's Committee said: In 2018, Lang Thanh commune achieved new rural standards. This is both a source of pride and a heavy responsibility, which is how to bring the commune to advanced new rural standards in the shortest time.

Facing difficulties, the Party Committee, government, associations and unions of Lang Thanh commune have united, joined hands and reaped the "sweet fruit" of the commune reaching the advanced new rural standards in 2023. Happiness is present in every house, alley, road and the excitement of 2,110 households here when their material and spiritual life has now been improved.

Evidence of the change in Lang Thanh is that the average income of the commune in 2023 reached 57.7 million VND/person/year, 3 times higher than in 2015. Thanks to the integration of many resources and synchronous and effective solutions, by the end of 2023, the poverty rate decreased to 1.79%. In 2022, the commune's "Lang Cau Honey" product of Lang Thanh Agricultural Service Cooperative was recognized as a 3-star OCOP product; In 2023, the "Phu Son Hill Chicken" Livestock Cooperative product was recognized as meeting VietGAP standards.

In addition, in the commune there are many models: raising Sind crossbred cows from the policy source of building new rural programs to support breeding cows; raising buffaloes and cows for goods and raising wild boar models for high income.

Regarding agricultural production, there is a model of concentrated green squash on 4 hectares; a model of producing agricultural products with the brand name "Countryside products" in Dong Giua with a scale of 5 hectares. In 2023, the Party Committee was recognized as "excellently completing its tasks, exemplary".

After 5 years of building a new advanced rural area, infrastructure has been gradually invested synchronously. Notably, the investment in building a model road in the commune center, roads to hamlets with a total length of 2.5 km, sidewalks, ditches, box culverts, trees, flower pots and lighting systems has been implemented.

The commune has been investing in upgrading and building many facilities to serve teaching in kindergartens and primary schools that meet national standards; Rural traffic routes are supported for hamlets to build drainage ditches according to the mechanism of the commune People's Council resolution.

The basic traffic system is concreted and hardened from commune and hamlet roads. The main roads of communes, inter-commune and hamlet roads and above are installed with signs and speed bumps to ensure safety for people when participating in traffic. The canal system is annually maintained, repaired and newly built to meet irrigation and drainage needs throughout the commune.

The power grid has been invested in upgrading, renovating, and replacing to ensure capacity, safety, and serve people's daily life, production, and business.

Striving to build a model new countryside

Coming to Lang Thanh commune today, wherever you go, you can hear people proud of the obvious changes. This is thanks to the dynamic team of Party Committee, government, and Fatherland Front cadres who dare to think and act, and the consensus of the people.

Mr. Nguyen Xuan Phien, a Party member for over 45 years, in Quy Lang hamlet happily said: “Lang Thanh has changed a lot now. Traffic is convenient, houses are spacious, and the village is clean and beautiful. It must be affirmed that to achieve the results we have today, the key issue is the dynamic and united local cadres and the excited and confident people.”

During many years of local implementation of the construction of advanced new rural areas, in addition to mobilizing internal resources from the people, the mobilization of resources from children living far away from home has also achieved high efficiency. This is one of the great resources because Lang Thanh has a tradition of studiousness, after finishing school, children have stable jobs in big cities at home and abroad. Therefore, when calling on children to contribute money to send back to their hometown to help build new rural areas, everyone agreed to support.

Typically, Colonel of the Royal Army Dinh Luu (Quỳ Lăng hamlet) invested in building the communal gate, as a priceless gift to his homeland. Mr. Hoang Danh Duẩn in Đồng Bàn hamlet is working outside the province, and for many years has contributed hundreds of millions of VND to build his homeland... and many other typical individuals and groups have made significant material and spiritual contributions. For them, there is only one homeland, so no matter where they go or what they do, they always turn to the place where they were born and raised.

Mr. Nguyen Ho Son said: The values ​​from the commune's advanced new rural construction have crystallized into "sweet fruit", creating a driving force to promote great solidarity and join hands to build Lang Thanh to be more civilized and modern.

With the motto of building a new countryside “with a starting point, but no ending point”, the locality continues to promote the spirit of solidarity, dynamism, creativity; the joint support of all classes of people and arouse potential advantages, constantly improve the criteria of new countryside, towards building a model new rural commune.
